Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Aspire Defence Capital Works to archaeologically monitor a programme geotechnical test-pitting at four Military Camps on the Salisbury Plain Defence Training Estates, centred on NGRs SU 18700 43500 (Bulford), SU 13400 44900 (Larkhill), SU 25418 49200 (Perham Down) and SU 22482 48290 (Tidworth). No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were encountered during the course of the works. In general the results concur with conclusions drawn from previous investigations. Large scale landscaping, both building-up and reducing the ground levels, structural development and redevelopment, are in evidence at all four Sites. Undisturbed natural soil horizons, and therefore potentially archaeological remains, exist intermittently across the Sites, sealed below substantial deposits of made-ground and in areas that have remained ostensibly undeveloped since the camps were established. The Bulford and Larkhill Camps were found to have similarly extensive levels of landscaping, as well as limited examples of preserved soil horizons. At Tidworth the landscaping appears more weighted towards the building-up of ground levels, potentially preserving archaeological deposits underneath. At Perham Down it appears that landscaping and development has been comparatively less extensive and less intrusive. Across the Sites there remains a moderate to high potential for the survival the archaeological resource in undisturbed areas, and where original soil horizons exist below made-ground deposits. Where there is substantial truncation, whether due to landscaping, foundations or service trenches, the potential for the survival of archaeological features and deposits in that area may be considered low.
